Text in Zulu: 25 Madoda, thandani omkenu, njengalokho noKristu ulithandile ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo 26 ukuba alingcwelise, alihlambulule ngesigezo samanzi ngezwi, 27 ukuze azimisele ibandla elinenkazimulo, lingenasisihla, nambimbi, nanto enjalo, kodwa libe ngcwele lingenacala.
Translation of the previous text to Swahili (individual language):
25-Enyi waume, wapendeni wake zenu, kama Kristo naye alivyolipenda Kanisa, akajitoa kwa ajili yake; 26-ili makusudi alitakase na kulisafisha kwa maji katika neno; 27-apate kujiletea Kanisa tukufu, lisilo na ila wala kunyanzi wala lo lote kama hayo; bali liwe takatifu lisilo na mawaa.
